I'm back with my same problem. I have a Toshiba Satellite with oodles of memory (windows8). I just had a computer specialist look at it and remove anything that was running in the background . We're down to about 10% CPU usage with StarTools running. Everything else loads quickly and runs nicely.
Now back to StarTools -- I downloaded the latest (1.4 ) that Ivo provided with a very kindly license included. BUT every time I get to wipe , trying to do a wipe ,it stops working very quickly and completely locks my computer so,I have to force quit.
I'm at the end of my troubleshooting . Any ideas?
Ok-another try doing things in a different order. All seems to work until I try Wipe then does one "dark anomaly " swipe and gets about a quarter in the next when it locks everything and have to force quit computer .
Should I go back and try to download 1.3 ?
I think now I should be in the Developing group but let me now clarify my Stupidity! It just took a very long time to do the Wipe ( maybe half an hour to 45 min) and I was quitting too early.
Doing Sadr with Nebulosity-- should I be binning before start . Thnaks
Finally found the problem I hope. My windows 8 did several updates since I last used StarTools. I went to Compatabilty for the heck of it and it messed with things , program works fine, it saved those settings that enable the program to work. I'll file this away for the future.
